Brief Explanation oi the Result for Town

To the Editor Of the Republic:
At the township election here on Monday,
April 4th. Mr.. F. q. Norton was elected
township clerk over MIR. W. II. Rowe by a
majority ot A.. II 81 happens that the sue
cesS(ul candidate is a democrat, while the
defeated one is a republican. This fact IL
being construed by the few personal !nemieN
OF Mr Rowe a. proof of his unpopularity
here. the township being republican by
nearly three 10 one. There are two slides
to every story. and ~ there are to this ole
la the first place. il was not political
fight, a. everyone knows. and | propose
to give the reason why MI Norton was sue
,eSSful against one whom il was difficult
Ia ind Ar opponent. aS within the past
four wears he has been successful
against some of the best men and repuhli-
cans in the community. | propose, also.
10 state nothing but naked. indisputable
truths As connected with Mr.. Norton
truths which are to his credit. and that he
will not deny.
In to within the past two months, Mr..
Norton ranged way down i'll the social and
moral scale: in fact WAS supposed 10 he an
irrrtleemahle victim Of intoxicating drink.
There was none ST. >anguine a 10 hope for
the least reformation. But He who rules
our deStinieS SAW Mt. in His infinite mercy,
Ia pluck him, a> brand, from the con
suIning tire. and place him once more on
safe ground a free man. Mr.. Norton con
nected himself the VI. T.. church. of this
place. whose members sought to throw
around him every protection and sympathy
within their power. and to offer him every
encouragement possible. For this they de
serve the highest commendati0n. with
this end in view when II became
known that he would be a candidate i"I
township clerk. the Christian community
gave him their franchise i'll body. This.
also WAS As il should be. But here enter,
an auxiliary into the contest in favor of Mr..
Norton. though with very different motive
in view. our democratic friends caught on.
Ii WAS a furlom hope. they thought. but a
bare possibility of boosting one Of theiI
number into office. So they laid aside
their established pTecedentS and Joined
hands with the righteous in righteous
cause. and the hattie was won. 80 Won see.
between the church. the republican and
democratic parties. a democrat finally got
Office in Madison township.
That Mr.. Rowe WAS defeated. does not
prove that II WAS the result OF unpopuiarity
for scores who voted against him testified
AT the time a. To his efficiency aS township
clerk the naSt four years, and that they
voted for Mr.. Norton for the reasons above
stated Mr.. Rowe has stated time and
again that had he known in time that Mr..
Norton was 10 be- q candidate ha would
have withdrawn i'll his favor And he
would. Mr.. Rowe. we understand, is a
candidate for the nomination for county

There We're ten times as MANY republicans
who favored the prohibition amendment IN
Michigan as there We're partisan pr0hibi-
tionists. yet the prohibitionists nominated a
separate ticket and fought the republicans
with all their might and main. just as they
did in Ohio. when a republican legislature
provided for a submission of the question
to the people. in both states these prohi-
bitioniSts. by antagOnizing the republicans
beat themselves. which showed that they
cared more for the maintenance of their
party organization than they did for the
; recess of prohibition. In Michigan. how
ever. the prohbitionistS did not beat the
republicans.

injury. Tie angry beast first attacked the
horse which. becoming frightened began TO
I back at lively rate. To prevent injury.
Mr.. Powell Jumped from the buggy to
catch the horse and save the buggy from
going over. Almost at the same instant
the COW struck the horse i'll the side and
showed horse and buggy down the bank, "
setting the buggy. Miss Wallace was
thrown out by this move and Mr.. Powell
was pinned against the fence.
The COW continued to attack the horse
until Miss Wallace crept from the wreck,
when eSpying her standing behind the
buggy. il made a lunge toward her. Mr..
Powell called To her 10 climb the fence.
She started across the road. closely pursued
by the COW; and probably would have been
caught had not the COW been impeded by a
rope and log OF wood fastened 10 its neck.
The log caught in the buggy wheel and
stopped the cow. The trouble was then
soon over. and no injury done 10 anyone.
